Hi everyone!
Following up from last week: Saturday I did total body with Daniel PT Fitness, I've done a few of his workouts and I really like them! His specialty seems to be metabolic style 30-ish minute workouts that are either HIIT, kettlebell, or total body with some split strength workouts. I have been saving some of his HIIT but a lot of his kettlebell and total body. Anyway I started with a growwithjo warm up then this Daniel PT workout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHjl...T5yzc&index=30) and stretch for a 55 minute workout. Then Sunday I just did Pure Barre Results Focus Seat, which I remembered as being easier (and to be sure it is easier than the other Results Focus workouts) but it was tough enough for me yesterday! I have a very distinct hamstring DOMS today which I suspect was from the seat portion of the workout yesterday. I did the warm up through about half the abs then my own stretch for a 55 minute workout. Today I went for a brief but hot and sweaty 15 minute walk with the dogs. Today and tomorrow are rest days. I was so busy last weekend with visiting one sister about 2 hours away on Saturday, then my nephew's birthday party yesterday. And tomorrow it's back to the office already! Eventmom I hope your knee feels better!! My knees feel pretty good again after I stopped running, I probably just won't ever run again or maybe just once or twice a year. We also went from chillier spring weather to now it's just hot, haha. The dogs were panting and dragging after just a slow 15 minute walk today, it was probably about 80 and sunny then we had a huge thunderstorm. Thankfully we got back in time! Buzzer I really like Cathe ICE Bootcamp! You described it really well, some tougher moves but not performed for that long before she moved to the next exercise, and the whole workout with w/u and stretch is only like 44 minutes. I really like the ICE and LITE workouts because they are shorter, less challenging but still definitely feel worked out! I don't have Strong and Sweaty upper body but I do have the Strong and Sweaty Bootcamp workout which I also really like, it's tougher than the ICE Bootcamp for sure. I also have Strong and Sweaty PHA and Total Body Giant Sets both of which I really enjoy. Cathe really is great! I hope your tennis elbow doesn't stick around forever, I remember my flare up from a few years ago lasted for months!! I had the little brace thing that depresses the one muscle so it makes your movement less painful, is that what you bought? It really did work well! Congratulations to LB for getting her next karate belt and for the bonus recognition of perfect attendance and for the extra effort of helping out and things! That's awesome!

Hi everyone,
It's been a little bit of a bumpy week for me. My in office days (Tuesdays) I don't tend to eat much, but then I have been rebounding on Wednesdays by eating way too much, and i really overdid it this week. I'm going to need to plan out my in office days better so I don't fall into a purge/binge cycle again. Anyway since I overate so badly Wednesday, I've been a bit sick to my stomach and had to miss my workout yesterday. I STILL feel sick to my stomach today, making me think I might actually be sick and not just self induced eating crap but I really wanted to get back to it so I did my workout today, but I was more sluggish getting through it. Tuesday: rest day but after work I took the dogs for a quick but hot 15 minute walk Wednesday: woke up early and got in EPIC Heat arm workout (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-by...i4uVpN&index=9) plus stretch for a 50 minute workout. I was really happy that I woke up early, persisted with working off my cell phone since Verizon FIOS internet service was out the entire day , too bad it went downhill after the morning with bad eating Ugh oh well, all I can do is move forward. Yesterday: Unplanned rest day but at least I got my eating back in order. Today: EPIC Heat Leg workout (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SEc...4uVpN&index=10) and it was really good but my back was cramping slightly from all the deadlifts, so I had to modify a bit. Still good though, with warm up/stretch it was a 48 minute workout. Tomorrow will be total body and abs, after (hopefully) feeling much better and getting a chance to sleep in. Then I'm coordinating with my sisters to help my dad all weekend decluttering his house. Sunday will be barre after (again hopefully) feeling much better. And hoping the decluttering will be more just moving stuff here and there and not overly active LOL. Eventmom I am sorry to hear your headache is so bad, I hope you feel better soon! I love TA all fours work but it is very hard on my knees. That's why I had to give it up the last time even though I was definitely seeing results with her. My knees feel great right now, but I have been careful not to run or do anything else to exacerbate it, which would include long stretches of table work. I haven't done Cardio Barre in forever! Still have the DVDs though I'm sure I'll get back to them at some point Buzzer I really like Cathe's LITE workouts. They really ARE "lite" and easier than the ICE workouts, which are also pleasantly easier than her usual workouts. I don't have the entire LITE set but really like the ones I have, Cardio Party, Pyramid Pump, Metabolic Blast, PHA2, Bodyweight and Bands (it is my favorite of her band/travel workouts). Yes, I think eating is make or break for weight loss, and exercise really isn't a factor at all But like you said, I don't know the exact formula, I know when I reduce carbs/sugar it's great, but if I push it too hard, I tend to rebound and binge, so I haven't found that balance yet. Ugh! Wow snow!!! We pushed right through Spring here and it is now in the 90s already It is so bad that your friend bailed on you, after OFFERING to help you!! And just 30 minutes before the party! That is very annoying, and especially bad since she had offered and then she backed out
